Chen Lin's Lightning Escape Technique had a limited range. A single use only brought him into the canyon, where he picked an opening at random and entered.
Once inside, he did not dare linger. He changed his appearance, then shot deeper into the passage.
The underground space was dim, but perhaps because there were luminous substances in the surrounding rock, he could just about see. With his foundation establishment late stage cultivation, he had no need for lighting.
He pressed on without stopping and soon reached the bottom.
An empty expanse stretched before him, its boundaries nowhere in sight, but Chen Lin was not surprised.
He had learned before coming that the underground region was divided into several layers, each an independent space. The deeper the layer, the larger its area. The fifth layer, the deepest explored so far, was said to be as vast as an enormous nation!
Thus, when the city lord of Tianyun Immortal City said the Ji Family might be hiding at Myriad Souls Ridge, he had meant these underground spaces, not the surface.
The yin qi in the first layer was considerably denser than in the canyon, but it posed no difficulty for Chen Lin. He changed his robes, took out the Red Fire Sword, and began exploring at a leisurely pace.
He had barely taken a few steps when a faint phantom image drifted toward him, bringing a chilling aura.
Rather than panic, he studied it with interest.
This was the region's "local specialty"-a soul that, for one reason or another, had never entered samsara. It could also be called a vengeful spirit.
Those wandering the first layer were all low-level creatures. After observing it for a while, Chen Lin unleashed burning lotus true fire and destroyed it.
Then he continued onward.
